People say that it’s easy to be right but even easier to be wrong. More often than not, people forget to be careful about what they say online. Quickly typing a few nonsense sentences and pressing "share" might seem like a great idea at the time, but the truth is, they might stay on the internet forever.

The online community called Aged Like Milk is here to remind you of that. As the moderators write in their description, it’s "a subreddit dedicated to all those things in media and elsewhere that didn’t stand the test of time, at all." More than 795k members are on a mission to find and document ridiculous posts that quickly turned sour.

Take a look at some of the worst takes Bored Panda has collected from this group and upvote your favorite ones. Also, if you’re hungry for more examples of how people’s opinions came back to bite them, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

This is really good. Especially when you consider Superman himself is an actual alien. Not even from this Earth, and yet, he's here to help. Hides his hero identity, trying to blend in and living a seemingly normal life.... As an immigrant, I love that concept.

I was just watching a 2-year old video about the TV show "Chernobyl" and he said that, for many people, the Chernobyl disaster was what broke the bond between Russia and the Ukraine. (https://youtu.be/Y21TGmzHHjk from Like Stories of Old if anyone's interested)

According to Know Your Meme, "aged like milk" is a catchphrase that mainly describes social media posts that have grown increasingly troublesome since their inception. When people throw their opinions left and right, some of them are bound to be wrong. Well, they might look fine at the time, but time truly shows which beliefs aged poorly by completely breaking modern social norms.

While the origin of the phrase is unknown, the earliest usage comes from a 2006 comedy special Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself. A puppet called Walter said "She's aging like milk!" in one part of the dialog. Since then, the clip received more than 4.2M views on YouTube and quickly spread to other platforms, forums, and threads.

There's a reason it's called the Daily Fail. Consistently on the wrong side of history since the day it was founded. This is the newspaper that supported the rise of the Na zi s, opposed women's rights, denied (and still does) the existence of climate change... A couple of weeks ago they were still publishing articles about the dangerous far-right militias in Ukraine and how Putin was right to be worried about the threat from them...

If you ever felt slightly embarrassed about something you shared online, don’t worry. After all, social media is the place for us to vent about politics, culture, sports, our personal lives, and more, so you’re definitely not the only person to ever have a bad take. In fact, more than half of Americans (57 percent) say they have social media regrets. One in six routinely rue their decision to post at least once a week, with Millennials being the most regular offenders.

That movie was a nightmare. She had to endure painful breast binding to hide her adult figure, the actor who played the scarecrow was left with permanent skin and organ damage from the glue used in his make-up, the actor who played the Tin Man was hospitalized by a reaction to his face paint.

Nope. It was aluminum powder. The original Tin Man was Buddy Ebsen, who had an allergic reaction to it that forced him to drop out. Jack Haley, who replaced Ebsen, didn't have a problem.

The original Tin Man Buddy Ebsen (a.k.a Jed Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies) was cast in the role of the Tin Woodman, a.k.a. the Tin Man, but he was essentially poisoned by the makeup, which was made of pure aluminum dust. Nine days after filming started he was hospitalized, sitting under an oxygen tent.

Oh, My God. How little do we know at the time we are "inventing" things... only to cause havoc, illness and death soon after in the future. Look at the invention of "plastic" which saved all of us kids from being cut constantly on our feet from broken glass and metal, and now plastic is choking the whole world! We must return to natural organic materials somehow!

Ya, and my dentist used to let me play with "Silver Faries" which was the mercury used for fillings in a small test tube with a cork top. Of course, I would always have to open it up when I got home and then they disappeared into the floor. And I had a chemistry set that had cobalt in it as a sample mineral. And the DDT sprayed at the drive-in theaters to keep the mosquitos down How did we ever survive?

Asbestos had little or nothing to do with her death. Alcohol (self-administered) and drugs (administered by movie studios: amphetamines for long working days followed by barbiturates to make them sleep) were what did her in.

Well, the age old quandary between unknown substances dangers at first use. For Judy though, her fall was Barbiturates. Which we know have always been addicting and could cause death.

Asbestos, which was widely used for things like insulation, fire proofing, and in this case, fake snow turned out to be extremely bad for you. It’s either flat out illegal or greatly restricted in most countries.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring substance, once deemed to be a Wonder Substance, so it was heavily used in a variety of products around the world. It turned out that breathing in Asbestos fibers causes them to get lodged in your lungs and later cause issues such as types of lung cancer or asbestosis, a chronic lung condition It's so bad that over 50 nations worldwide have completely banned it. China, Russia, India, USA, and Canada have not fully done so, but in the US and Canada, use of it is greatly restricted. Look up Libby, Montana, Asbest, Russia, or India and how it used to import tons of Canadian-processed asbestos; it's bad stuff.

These numbers come from YouGov Omnibus' survey where they asked U.S. citizens about posting or texting something they regret. Many people admitted they were less anxious about sounding silly compared to a few years back. However, they are more worried about damaging their reputation at work — 22 percent said they are concerned that a questionable post might affect their career.

Results also showed that 14 percent of participants feared they may hurt relationships with family members or partners by sharing misguided images or messages. Plus, women were slightly more likely to feel troubled about social media blunders damaging their close relationships than men.

If you’re wondering how to make sure your social media posts won’t come back to bite you, always think twice before sharing something online. Ask yourself if there’s anything in this particular post or comment that could potentially hurt you in the future. Think about whether it might defame a specific view or lifestyle. Also, determine whether your words will actually contribute to the conversation or whether they will only create more noise.

Also, it’s always good to self-reflect and review your older media posts. It’s recommended to delete inactive accounts, provocative or controversial topics and discussions, and anything that might make you look overly cynical or mean. You have a larger audience than you think, so it’s quite easy to overshare and sacrifice your privacy. And just remember, if you ever end up posting something extremely cringe-worthy, there’s a big chance the members of the Aged Like Milk group will pick it up and will make sure to share it with the whole community.

What's worse is the people who didn't make it out of Afghanistan. We're talking about a history of religious violence that has an almost unrivaled brutality in today's world. And we just turned the lions loose on unsuspecting civilians and then shrugged as the lion do what they do. Worse, we gave the Taliban weapons.
